At this point I think you should upgrade your CPU, motherboard and RAM as well.

You don’t really NEED a whole new system but if you are planning to play triple A titles, a 4 core 4 thread CPU is past its prime. I wouldn’t even recommend anyone to buy a 4 core 8 thread at this point. Spending any more than what I listed just for a GPU and monitor alone would be too much even for that CPU. Even that 2070 super is gonna be bottlenecked hard with your CPU. Getting a 1660ti would be my max for that CPU, but again it’s time for a new CPU also.

Sure I can do one if you prefer less performance for the same money.

Better CPU, better motherboard, RAM is already as good as you needed, better GPU, cheaper comparable monitor on sale.
